Gettin old! Haha, guess i never thought i'd reach an age nearing 40, all a matter of time i guess! :p
Still at the wake, though most of the people have already left. It's also the start of the 7th month! Brrrrr! ;p all the joss paper's gonna start burning again!
Interesting story from the maid who looks after my granddad, a short moment before my granddad passed, she said that he was seemingly 'conversing' with someone and setting a meeting of sorts, he was looking at the ceiling mumbling 'ok, ok, see u later' and ' wait, wait' and a moment later he was gone peacefully. We'd like to think it's my grandma who was asking him to join her hehe. ;) My auntie said before he went, he face had a amazing radiant glow; i imagine that's the point at which your whole life flashes in front of your eyes.
Well, he's at peace now, up with his wife and all those loved ones who have passed before. So treasure the time you have with those you love for the time we have is short!
Time marches on buddy.. we be getting old ! It's just kinda surreal how in the final moments of one's life, everything you've done and experienced just flashes by one last time and it's on to the ever after. Heard several stories as well of loved ones who have gone before coming back to journey with the departing soul onto the next world.
